[QUOTE="anachronism, post: 1017081, member: 4134"] There's an excellent article in the latest issue of "Handloader" on case neck sizing vs bullet diameter. I generally size cast bullets to .311 for 30 cal, depending on how generously the barrels cut at the throat. I also use a .311 M die to expand the case neck, and flare the case mouth slightly. The brass case will spring back (for me) to around .309 or slightly larger, which gives me good case neck tension, plus allows easy seating of the bullets. This works for me, YMMV. [/QUOTE]
